Agreed. He’s a complete scum bag. Involved in a lot of poo poo by choice still despite not needing to be anymore, and is horrendous as a person.

"Patel"? Fuck you.
Assuming he doesn’t pull out of the fight (and Saunders has pulled out of multiple fights in the past, though always claiming injury), it will be nice to never care about Billy Joe Saunders again.

He was supposedly threatening to pull out of the fight because the ring was too small but walked that back. Just pathetic stuff.

What’s odd is he’s always fought in 20ft rings, so his argument for wanting a bigger one is complete bullshit.

i think his argument for a bigger one is completely sensible considering what his style is and who he's fighting.

however i do believe canelo would cut him off and cut him down if they boxed on a football pitch. i would be stunned if bjs has footwork that canelo just couldn't deal with.

i was looking at canelo's fight history to see if there was any indication that bjs stood a chance and what i came up with was 'probably not, if bjs was the fighter he was today and canelo regressed 5 years'.

however, despite what i consider scoring fuckery i am so glad we got canelo / ggg twice. loving classics. i was browsing ggg's wikipedia page and came across this amazing quote:

quote:

According to David Imoesiri, a heavyweight who worked as a sparring partner for Alexander Povetkin and completed six different training camps in Big Bear, sparred for a total of about a hundred rounds with Golovkin. Imoesiri said Golovkin routinely dispatched of heavyweights and hit harder than Povetkin

also:

quote:

Will Clemons, a cruiserweight, who worked with both Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Golovkin, told: "You know it's an experience of a lifetime, Floyd would definitely make you work, make you think a lot. 'Triple G' make[s] you fear for your life. For real, that's the kind of power he has, and everything is hard from the jab. ... I wanted to feel that power, which I did, I got what I was asking for. Usually they make you wear rib protectors. My heart's had it I didn't wanna wear one, and then I learned my lesson. I got hit with a body shot that felt like ... it was a missile. ... It was a great experience to be in there with the hardest-hitting middleweight in history."

I'd be ok with someone scoring the 2nd fight a draw, but GGG absolutely took the 1st bout.

the odds of floyd throwing the fight for whatever reason are greater than the possibility that he is legitimately beaten by paul. so yes.

yeah no wonder nobody is taking bets. both of those are poo poo bets imo but i don't have an alternative suggestion because i am not aware of a 'contest' this one sided actually happening. 'floyd wins, unless he chooses not to' is absolutely a chance. floyd would piss off everyone on earth if he went down. it wouldn't affect his professional record, and the rematch would be the freest money of all time.

this is literally the best boxer in the world fighting some guy. wow. can't believe that i get to see this.

I've heard it happen in UFC a couple of times but not in a boxing match.

as far as i'm aware there hasn't been a 'pronounced dead at the scene' death in modern combat sports. usually they either immediately or within a day or two slip into a coma and die later.

you should check your sources because no-one's ever died in the middle of a UFC fight

List of deaths due to injuries sustained in boxing

One death a few weeks ago, four in 2019. Overall...yeah, it happens.

Fatalities in mixed martial arts contests

This list is less well organized and MMA is much newer so everything on it should be roughly the last 30 years, I am unaware of any deaths resulting from UFC fights, but it seems like it does happen in MMA overall, especially in unregulated or poorly regulated amateur bouts.

The vast majority of deaths in both boxing and mma are usually as a result of accumulated damage rather than a single shot. The closest one that immediately comes to mind, and I don't know if he was actually medically dead in the ring and it wasn't from a single shot, would be Emil Griffith vs Benny Paret

That's perhaps the most famous one, though it does happen. Max Baer vs Frankie Campbell was another.

No-one has ever died in the UFC cage.

The ref will almost certainly step in before that, otherwise, if bouts were just thunderdome, McGregor about a million other people would be dead already.

IMO the only route to victory for BJS is to hope Canelo gasses out early and then win rounds 5-12 so decisively that even lovely judges can't not give them to him

which is quite an ask

i think artificially making yourself significantly physically stronger and faster in the pursuit of causing the most damage to another human person is deeply morally incorrect when compared to say the tour de france.
